| ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST While in answering your questions, I try to personalize my answers to fit your specific needs, I don’t know all the details of your situation and that of your child. For this reason, before doing my suggestions, always check with your healthcare provider to be sure that what I advise fits the health needs of you and your child. |
